Chapter 308: Colonel
Shulka glanced at Dr. Anatoly in a daze, and secretly said that it was no wonder that he could call the colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and transfer a troop as soon as he called, which may be the "solution" that Anatoly said!
"No, no......" Colonel Chernetsev looked at Shulka's suddenly realized look, shook his head and said: "It's not like you think, Comrade Shulka, I didn't know you because of my father!" In fact, my father is because I know you! ”
Shulka couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.
"I am from the 251st Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Comrade Shulka!" Colonel Chernetsev stepped forward and hugged Shulka and said with a smile: "Don't you remember it yet?" ”
Shulka couldn't help but let out an "oh" and said, "We fought together!" ”
"We've fought together!" Chernetsev said: "You also saved my life!" ”
Shulka reacted to Colonel Chernetsev's words, he did save an officer that day, but because it was too dark and the war situation was urgent, he didn't even see that the other party was a colonel.
"Are you the wounded officer?" Shulka said.
"Yes!" Colonel Chernetsev nodded: "You finally remembered!" ”
"He was carried back covered in blood!" Dr. Anatoly replied, "I took the bullet out of his left arm, and he told me that you saved him!" ”
Saying that, Dr. Anatoly also stepped forward and hugged Shulka and said, "Thank you, Comrade Shulka, you saved my only son!" ”
"You saved me, too, Dr. Anatoly!" Shulka replied: "So, we are even!" ”
Dr. Anatoly couldn't help laughing, he sighed and shook his head, and said: "You know, Comrade Shulka, sometimes I wish he could be like you!" ”
As he spoke, he glared at Colonel Chernetsev.
Colonel Chernetsev couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "Can we talk alone, Dad!" ”
Dr. Anatoly didn't say anything, patted Shulka on the shoulder and went out.
"I don't think you can stay in the hospital any longer, Comrade Shulka!" Colonel Chernetsev said: "It is clear that this was a premeditated assassination! Their goal is to get rid of you in order to break our morale and confidence to keep fighting! Other than that, I think they're more worried about the possibility that you're possibly a bigger threat to them on the battlefield in the future! ”
Shulka nodded in agreement.
If it weren't for these reasons, they wouldn't have had to assassinate a second lieutenant at all.
"Would you like one?" Colonel Chernetsev took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked: "The doctor didn't say you can't smoke it!" ”
"Of course!" Shulka took the cigarette and went to Colonel Chernetsev and lit it.
"What are you going to do, Colonel?" Shulka asked: "I mean, the wounded! ”
"It's easy!" Colonel Chernetsev replied: "Check their injuries, with an emphasis on the lightly wounded!" ”
Shulka understood what that meant.
If a Spy wants to get in, they have to hurt themselves or each other, and this will always leave some clues...... Experienced doctors can tell how far they have been injured based on the severity of their injuries.
It is also possible to investigate the circumstances under which they were injured, what witnesses they have, and so on.
Of course, they don't have to be spies, and they may have done so to escape the war.
But what difference does this make to the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, deserters are to be executed anyway.
"May I make a request?" Shulka asked.
"Of course!"
"I hope you don't do that, Colonel!" Shulka said.
Colonel Chernetsev looked at Shulka suspiciously and asked, "Why?" ”
"Because the others are innocent, Colonel!" Shulka explained: "The four men who assassinated me could be all of them. ”
"But there may be other comrades!"
"Yes!" "But for the sake of this possibility, for the sake of one or two traitors, is it worth it to affect morale?" ”
"Affect morale?"
"I mean, if someone is innocent!" "He fought valiantly on the battlefield, but the wound was very much like self-injury, and there was not enough evidence...... Then he will be considered a traitor! In this way, what will the soldiers at the front think? They have to face death on the battlefield, and there is no doubt that they have to be careful of their wounds when they return to the rear in the hospital! ”
Hearing this, Colonel Chernetsev couldn't help but be silent.
Shulka said that this situation is indeed very likely, because there are all kinds of strange things on the battlefield, like the wounded man who survived a direct hit by a mortar shell.
"I mean, it's not worth it for the sake of a possible traitor!" "Their plot has been revealed, and if I move somewhere else, even if there are traitors hiding in them, they will be useless," Shulka said...... There is very little chance that they will continue to play a role, and we are in a mess for this and may even affect the whole army! ”
Colonel Chernetsev nodded in agreement.
In fact, this was not just Shulka's point of view, Colonel Chernetsev received orders like this.
The High Command had long known that there were many traitors who were being used by the Germans in the army, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not make any major moves.
This is not in line with the style of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if it were at any other time, I am afraid that the city would have been found to be full of wind and rain and chickens and dogs.
But these are extraordinary times.
At a time when the front-line fighters were fighting with the Germans, if the Ministry of the Interior was rummaging through the boxes and reviewing its own soldiers and its own army...... This will not only affect morale, but even cause some degree of backlash.
So, during this time, in fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been suppressing itself.
"So, what do you mean......"
"It's time for me to be discharged!" Shulka said: "As soon as I get out of here, all the problems will be solved!" ”
"No, Comrade Shulka!" Chernetsev said: "You should continue to recuperate! ”
"My injuries are almost healed!" "Moreover, the hospital is not much safer than the battlefield!" Shulka said! ”
"I can arrange for you to go somewhere else!" Chernetsev said: "A safe place! ”
"I don't think there are tanks anywhere fourth...... No, it should be the 1st Guards Tank Brigade safe! Shulka said.
This is true, most of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade are well-known comrades-in-arms, many have been in the army since the Brest Fortress, and everyone knows whether they were captured or not.
After thinking about it, Chernetsev nodded and replied: "They are in Stalingrad, I will arrange a trip for you right away!" ”
